#ProPlantTips For Care
Slender Hinoki False Cypress prefers full sun or very light shade, though the full sun allows for the best color year-round. In hot climates, these do appreciate some protection from the full, relentless sun.
Requiring well-drained soil and average moisture, Slender Hinoki Cypress is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner-city environments. Once established, they are even partly drought-tolerant for short periods.
This is a relatively low-maintenance accent plant, the slow-growing nature means it won't outgrow its space any time soon. If any pruning is needed, it is recommended to trim back the new growth of the current season and remove any dieback from winter.
